SLOAN GROCERY NAME CHANGED; HARRIS MOVED

The name of the A.D. Sloan Grocery Company, wholesalers of Columbia, has been changed to the Charles C. Parks Company, to conform with the other two houses owned and operated by the Parks company, which has its head office in Gallatin, Tenn., and other stores in Lewisburg it was learned today. The change was effective June 1.

In the change, W.E. (Buck) Harris has been named buyer for the three houses and transferred to the Gallatin headquarters, and Louis Brazier, for a number of years with A.D. Sloan and before that with the J.A. Sloan Grocery Company, has been made manager of the Columbia Store.
